The Namaqua Dove (Oena capensis), an arid-zone columbid at the Palearctic margin, was used to assess current and future climatic suitability in T\u00fcrkiye and to compare its colonised and native niches. An ensemble niche model was fitted from occurrence and climate data, evaluated by cross-validation, and projected to 2070 and 2100 under three emission scenarios and five climate models. Suitability was predicted chiefly by precipitation, with low winter temperature as a secondary constraint, and roughly 92,000 km2 is already climatically suitable. In environmental space, the colonised records formed a contained, cool-margin subset of the native niche, indicating partial filling rather than expansion into novel climate. Low niche overlap, non-significant similarity tests, and a failed native-model transfer indicate a non-equilibrium, still-establishing front rather than full niche conservatism. The suitable area increased under every scenario and shifted predominantly eastward, with a north-eastward component, rather than poleward. The eastward pattern reflects the geometry of the suitable climate across Anatolia rather than an intrinsic directional preference. Because most of the projected climate has no present-day analogue, the direction of change is better supported than its magnitude, though both are conditioned by this extrapolation. The projected magnitude is reported as scenario illustration rather than forecast. These results indicate that suitability for O. capensis in T\u00fcrkiye is shaped jointly by precipitation and winter temperature, with colonisation tracking suitable climate rather than shifting into novel conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani16142238","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,20]],"date-time":"2026-07-20T02:32:08Z","timestamp":1784514728000},"page":"2238","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ensemble Niche Modelling Projects Net Suitability Gain and Eastward Range Expansion for the Namaqua Dove (Oena capensis) in Anatolia Under Climate Change"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8453-2255","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bekir","family":"Kabasakal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vocational School of Health Services, Antalya Bilim University, 07190 Antalya, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1038\/nature01286","article-title":"A globally coherent fingerprint of climate change impacts across natural systems","volume":"421","author":"Parmesan","year":"2003","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1024","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1206432","article-title":"Rapid Range Shifts of Species Associated with High Levels of Climate Warming","volume":"333","author":"Chen","year":"2011","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"eaai9214","DOI":"10.1126\/science.aai9214","article-title":"Biodiversity redistribution under climate change: Impacts on ecosystems and human well-being","volume":"355","author":"Pecl","year":"2017","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"239","DOI":"10.1038\/nclimate1688","article-title":"Focus on poleward shifts in species\u2019 distribution underestimates the fingerprint of climate change","volume":"3","author":"VanDerWal","year":"2013","journal-title":"Nat.
